Princeton ultimately stymied the Crimson’s quest for victory, prevailing with 1465 points and thus nabbing its 17th Ivy League championship in school history. Harvard concluded the weekend with a strong second-place finish, racking up 1438 points. Yale (1350), Penn (904.5), and Cornell (734) rounded out the top five...

The spike was triggered in part by a Dec. 30 suicide attack that killed seven CIA officials at an Afghan outpost. The Haqqani network and Pakistani Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud apparently aided the suicide bomber; some reports say Mehsud was wounded, possibly killed, in a Jan. 14 strike. Meanwhile, the remote-control pilots operating Predators and Reapers continue to peer at their video screens, hoping to catch sight...
